June 1, 2011

View of the day-On the road to Fairview, the Cimarron River is looking pretty low.

Al was up early and on the road to Carmen to check out the field we have to do down there…it would be at least a couple of days, so we didn’t have to worry about getting everything moved down right away. It was another hot muggy day and the south wind had returned after taking a day off.

Marilyn continued with her cable wrestling and conquered most of it…it is now bundle and label time. Al wanted to give Sasktel its daily rag about our phones not working. After another 40 minutes on the line, we finally had success…sort of. The phones work, but there is no messaging or data…not that we use data, but text messaging…seriously? At least Al has his right arm back, he was mighty cranky that his phone wasn’t working, as anyone at Sasktel will vouch for.

We went on a road trip to Fairview to visit with the ProHarvest guys…Al needed to get his ProHarvest belt buckles…and on the way we did see a couple of fields getting cut, but nothing major yet. The trucks are still rolling by the camper headed for the elevator, which also makes Al anxious to get going.

We rushed back from Fairview to talk to Ray from ProHarvest, who was at the combine out at the farm, trying to find out about the error message Marilyn had gotten when she moved the combine out yesterday. He was still there when we got back and he informed us that there was a bulb burned out…imagine that, it actually tells you there is a bulb out…what next? After a good visit with Ray, we went back to the camper for supper and to get prepared for the big event tonight…the puck drops for game one of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

That ought to keep Al’s mind off the grain trucks going by…
